Our Homeschool Curriculum, 2011-2012:
Andrew:
He is 16. He is
basically doing 11th/12th grade simultaneously this year. He's been working
really hard to complete 4 years of high school in 3 years. That is one of the
joys of homeschooling--being able to do that. So if his list looks LONG....that
is why!
Bible--Switched on Schoolhouse: 12th grade Christian Faith and
Living, Vision Forum's "Defending the Christian Worldview", the book "In His
Steps"
Algebra--Teaching Textbooks (math is not his strong suit, and we
are not making a big deal about it. The line of work he is going into does not
require high levels of math.)
Language Arts--online writing classes
through Time4writing.com. He'll take Essay Writing, and then Essay Writing for
the SAT. Wordly Wise 11 and 12 for
Vocabulary.
History/Literature--Truthquest History Age of Revolution
